[11:22.37]The History of the Internet
[11:28.01]A research team at the United States Pentagon
[11:33.58]first developed the concept of linking computers together in the 1960s.
[11:42.04]They wanted to have a system that would enable universities,
[11:49.20]research departments and the military to share resources with each other.
[11:56.77]Computers at this time were as large as refrigerators
[12:02.94]and could not be transported easily.
[12:08.19]Another problem was that they were often complicated
[12:14.43]and not compatible with each other.
[12:19.29]The research team had to overcome these difficulties
[12:24.93]to create a network that could share computing power.
[12:31.10]Gradually,more and more scholars came online.
[12:37.05]Years later, businessmen began using the Internet, too.
[12:43.53]The number of people using it is increasing all the time
[12:50.80]and it is becoming more widely available across the world.
[12:57.74]In fact,somewhere in every continent in the world,
[13:03.78]it is possible to use the Internet.
[13:08.74]There is a wide range of services available on the Internet.
[13:15.40]This means that there are many different ways to communicate.
[13:21.33]The most popular way is undoubtedly electronic mail
[13:28.10]more commonly called'e-mail
[13:32.36]The second most popular is browsing  on the World Wide Web(WWW).
[13:41.71]Briefly,the WWW is a very big series of connected pages
[13:49.65]containing various forms of multimedia.
[13:54.51]The third most popular way is real time text based communication between users
[14:02.76]such as IRC-Internet Relay Chat.
